Hey, in the end I went for a single 130T sprocket, I have had this laser cut in 3mm steel :) looks ok but need a little bit of tidying up with a file. I have a 12T sprocket for the motor, so will give me about 10.8 reduction, was hoping for a little more, might try for a smaller sprocket on...

I have a 200A mystery controller I got off ebay for £23, also a 100A skywing one that was about £9, I will see how these work out. I see you are also in the UK gwhy, can I ask where you got your 6mm sprockets from? was going to use technobots, but they are closed for hols now, so will have to...

Hey Thud, thanks for your help yeah I am going with 6s lipo. was hoping 40t would do it, they jump up in cost over that :) I think I will go for a 57T instead of the 40 and will try for a 8or9T on the 1/2" sprocket.

Looking to put together a cheapish RC build with an old bmx I have :) Not done much like this before, except add outrunners to a couple of scooters, so any help appreciated already have a 6374 180kv motor I am hoping to make a mount out of some 6mm angled aluminum and bolt it to the frame...

thanks gwhy, but I am after the type with the set screw, I think these D ones are not going to last long on a soft outrunner shaft?

well I have filed down the shaft and fitted the the sprocket with the D shape hole, although as you say bandaro the shaft is not hardened so not sure how long it will last :( but will give it a try :) I have managed to find some #25 sprockets at surplus center that will ship to the UK, at a...

technobots don't do 1/4" (6.35) sprockets, they do 6mm but don't think these will work with a 1/4" (6.35) chain?

Would it be possible to replace an 8mm 5065 outrunner shaft with a steel threaded bar? the sprocket I have has a D shape hole and I was thinking I could just grind a little off to bolt the sprocket on? or maybe use a part threaded bolt? would I need to cut a ring for a cir-clip to hold it in...

hi, thanks for your work in the nes supply, I have one sitting here, has anyone actually done the current mod yet? I think I will let some one else be the guinea pig, before I try :)

I had a hall go on mine after about 10 mins use :( u can test the sensors with a digital multimeter by powering up the controller, then testing the voltage from each sensor as you turn the wheel, they should all jump from 0 to 5v. I ended up digging out the faulty hall sensor with the...

Hi Neil, nice to see you got something out of them :) I did complain after the supply was sent, they did not even offer me anything, just said it was a better one. I have just sent them another email, after all I ended up paying for a s350 clone after they sent me the nes model which I could...

Hi, as Neil says above no one has found a way to successfully mod the nes version yet, I have a clone on the way if it ever turns up, I was hoping to fan mod my nes-350 for now as it does run a bit hot.

Hi, does anyone have any idea what is needed to do a fan mod on the nes-350? i have used mine a few times to charge my 50v pack but it gets quite hot at 9.4 amps! and the fan never stays on.

Hi, I am looking to buy a cheap meanwell clone from ebay just wondering if anyone has brought a 48v version recently and they were able to do the resistor current mod? could you let me know the seller you used? don't want to waste $40+ on a supply I can not mod or is no good for charging...

Hi Neil, glad someone else has got one :twisted: I have emailed sure-electronics see if they offer me anything for sending the wrong model :( With this model having the constant current limiting circuit I am not sure if we will be ok using it at full power? I am gonna put my batts on...
